To be honest, they both look like roosters to me.

1 German Shepherd, 1 Borador, 1 Malitpoo, 1 West Highland Terrier, 1 German Shorthair Pointer puppy, 3 Australorps, 6 Red Sex Links, 1 Black Sex Link, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Tetra Tints (aka: Amber Sex Link) and 9 Easter Eggers.

YES, I had to thin my flock out. It went from 57 to 28. :(

You didn't say how old they were, did you? I have 3 BLRW pullets that are about 6 weeks old and none of them have even a hint of pink in their combs and have no waddles. Even my 12 week old GLW's don't have that much red. Hope I'm wrong.

Well,,, no. Now you have me wondering. I'll have to go look closer at "her". If she's a he, he's going on craigslist.

At that age, both roos here also. And the other one posted by someone as a comparison also looks like a boy, but would need a better tail pic.

I agree, I believe it was Goldfinches pic. That definitely looks like a roo. At 4 months, my girls have nowhere near that much redness, and the size of that comb....... They are just starting to get red now, and their combs are still very small.
